Comment: I was prescribed sulpha about a month ago for palindromic rheumatism. It is a type of arthritis that comes and goes in severe episodes of pain.

Comment: I have only been taking it for two days and feel horribly sick to my stomach. I was on prednisone and feeling good and then was switched to this. I felt fine on prednisone but feel horrible with this. I'm hoping this will go away??
